I've lived here all my life. So this is a place I call home. This is a place we all call home. So when you mess around with our home, you have us to deal with. If the government comes up with outrageous plans that threaten to destroy our very identity, and they still think we're going to keep quiet, that just goes on to prove their stupidity, which we all know about. The plans the government come up with should be for the upliftment of the people, not for the builders who pay them the crores. The first step in preserving Goa's identity would logically be to chuck all former and present builders and real estate developers out of the government.
I don't think in my lifetime has Goa ever had such a poor crop of MLA's. Their actions and decisions make it all but obvious that they are only out to strike deals and take off with the loot, so much so that it isn't that great a loss to them if they later have to resign... First of all they came up with possibly the worst Regional Plan in the history of Goa... Then they refuse to scrap the plan even as the people of Goa, led by the Goa Bachao Abhiyan united like never before to protest against their grotesque desires. It was only when the Catholic Church and the Bahujan Samaj openly backed the Goa Bachao Abhiyan that the realization came upon the Congress that unless they scrapped the plan, they would lose their minority vote bank which they depend so heavily on. So even when the government decided to de-notify it, the honorable CM used the word non-retrospective, which he assumed would be beyond the realm of understanding of the Goan people. That meant the permissions already granted would stay.
So I have one question for the government. Did you de-notify the plan just to fool the people..?? Whom are you'll trying to fool..? The people are not dumb. This has gotten to such a stage where-in the people, especially the youth no longer feel they can trust the government. It's high time that the MLA's realize that their greed of money is slowly but steadily leading to the downfall of Goa. Ministers, MLA's, TCP dept, hear this. Only when the last fish dies and the last tree is cut, will you realize that money cannot be eaten. Then you'll look at the crores you made and wonder where things went wrong. The man who changed the world, Jesus Christ wasn't lying when He said that it is virtually impossible for the rich and the wicked to enter Paradise. Your greed is destroying the paradise we've all known. If you think you're setting up your life and that of your 40 future generations with stolen money, you can't be more wrong. They'll turn up as bad, if not worse, than you are. We already see it happening...
On the positive note, the Youth have opened their eyes, but not yet woken up. We the youth, who were previously living in a make-believe world of screwed up delusions, now realize that the government no longer holds to any values. Sacrilege and heresy have been left behind. When the youth wake up, it's time for the government to take notice. If you ignore us, we ignore you.
My sincere appeal. For the forthcoming elections, PLEASE let integrity and honesty be your criteria for selecting your candidate. Not bikes, cars, washing machines, etc. These are just things bought with stolen money, and if you accept these, in exchange for your vote, you're playing a major role in destroying Goa. Please fight your ignorance, and you'll win the battle... As Dr.Oscar put it, we have already won the war against our own fear. Now we're united. And we're unstoppable...

NIgel.. While i agree with you on the reason for the govt. agreeing to denotify the regional plan, i believe there are a couple of points i must shed light on.
First of all, the REgional Plan 2011 in its true form is an excellent document. Try and get a copy of it for yourself. Its ahs been devised by a firm called CES from delhi. It is supposedly one of the foremost consultancy firms in India. The have played a major role in the devlopment of Muscat.
Its been the illegal alterations that have been penciled in by certain people that should have been contested and not the entire plan.
On your statement that develpoers should be chucked out. OUt of the govt yes. Out of the scene NO!. It is inevitable that we need to have development around us. Trust me developers build structures that the public want. Not what the public dont want. They are here to do business. Yes there are a few crooked 7's but then they flourish because they give in to the greedy needs of the people WE elect. In that lie our answer to a better tomorrow. educate people in understanding how to elect right leaders. Mind you i say educate not point out.
Lastly, the doubt that arises in my mind is .... when everyone was aware of what changes had been going on... why do they wait for machinery to be moved in, damage to have taken place before they opened their mouths. After having spoken to a number of developers and venture capatilists i realsie that they view this as a classical example of money hungry NGO's. Maybe GBA is truly noblein its approach.. but there is a shadow of doubt as well. we cannot rule that out if we all take a pragmatice approach in analysing the entire situation.
Contact me sometime if you want to know more bout the otherside. 9823106774
Nope thanks I don wanna know about the otherside... If you have something to say, why don't u post it here, so that the people who read this blog will be enlightened...
There is no other side... Its just a scam by the government. The whole R.P... And thats not the only scam... All these minor scam are revealed only to hide from us the fact that how badly we're being raped by the upper 1 %/... By the way, which politician are u affiliated to..??
